I've been consuming a lot of OpenAI/ChatGPT content, but thought this interview of Ilya Sutskever (chief scientist OpenAI) by Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) was really really good. Much better than the Lex Fridman / Sam Altman interview.
view on youtu.beSo torn if I should shut down my pi LND node or just let it ride. Having a hard time putting this node down. The thought of it makes me cry
Branded, designed, recorded, mastered 1st episode of my podcast Tenet21. Long time goal. Gotta post it, to eventually populate in fountain app, participate in v2v media. In parallal with finishing songs to share, wavlake/soundcloud etc. with the pleb world.
Useful alias/function to put into your
.zshrcor.bashrc:function fd() { # Find file by prefix, ignoring case. By default it searches under current directory. # Usage: `fd myfile` or `fd myfile.txt ~` find ${2:-.} -iname "${1}*" 2>/dev/null }Who knew you could tap the price in the top nav on SN to change the metric? Love the Easter eggs on this site.. 🥚
This was a great feature a few weeks ago when Coinbase's price api was down and you could just switch it to the always correct 1sat=1sat.
Agreed, this is proper internet like the internet USED TO BE
It's a bummer that so many Bitcoin websites just die in irrelevance. Nobody uses satsoverflow anymore, soldirac never took off, even the litstak thing from 2 days ago has zero posts left now.
Hell, I'm not sure how many people use lightsats. I don't think it has a high impact on orange pilling nocoiners as advertised.
I think you're missunderstanding me. I don't care about "earning" a few thousand sats. That's an irrelevant amout of money to most people.
What I care about is people discovering lightning as a "wow, there is so much things you can do" and so many problems that are solved with small monetary incentivization.
Agreed actually.
I didn't know satsoverflow, it is a great use case, but I have to pay before seeing the answer?
I agree, a bounty system would have been way cooler. But they (the creator) insisted on this system for whatever reason.
Creative destruction in a burgeoning industry. Feature not bug.
Rise and grind fellow stackers. Another day working, listening to podcasts, day two playing around on nostr.
Have a good friday!
Lost my hat after 37 days RIP
Damn tough one. Good streak though. I have lost and regained my hat 5 times now. Never seem to learn to leave it on my head and not on the saloon tables.
Lost mine, too. Busy work day.
It happens. Wonder when the streak gets soo big we’re gonna have a huge Mexican sombrero.
Would be great if StackerNews sent a notification 2 hours BEFORE you’re going to lose it. At least give a chance to be proactive if you’re mooching around on the site.
I get to move up the leaderboard thanks guys 🤪
Remember to plan for the future and to have an interesting life in the present as well.
Moving my blogging from Mirror to a self-hosted Written instance, which takes long form Nostr notes from specified pubkeys and publishes them with a slick UX.
On top of that, gives me bigger reach too since those posts are also picked up by platforms like Habla.news. Woke up this morning to see someone on Nostr had shared a link from Habla to my post and it was getting a lot of likes and boosts.
Love this whole ecosystem. Always cool new stuff from the amazing builders.
On a non-Nostr note, setting up BTCPayServer on my node so I can make a Lightning address with my own domain to my own node, and see what other cool things I can do with it.
Keep us updated. This is the way
New Nostr based blog works great. I've posed two articles so far if you wanna look:
#158950
#159944
I think my next one will be about how to setup a Lightning node, set up your first channels with balanced liquidity, and creating a Lightning address for it.
At the moment the process has a steep learning curve and can be complex even for a long-time bitcoiner, yet there's not much clear documentation or up to date working tutorials.
Will write a full post to help people create and maintain their own nodes successfully!
Still trying to wrap my head around the China CIPS payment system, and yesterday's news that Brazil has joined. I have the sense that US dollar hegemony is collapsing quickly without any pushback or even acknowledgement from the US government.
I’m sure there’s a wise phrase from the famous philosopher Parker Lewis, that would sum this up perfectly.
